Steve's red line
Yes, Steve, I think that red line shows the torx head or phillips head is just filled with gunk. Good pointer. Dig at the area with an ice pick, dental pick, o-ring pick or just use a steel tooth brush on it.
It is not just you ImoOOO. Those wires are a tad bit bare.

they are security bolts when they are put on in the factory the nut shears of and leaves what you seen in the picture so i used a small cold chisel to loosen then screwed them out with a pair of fine pliers but i had to take the yoke of to do this then cut across it with a hacksaw to reuse them
might help other guys with a similar situation

But ofcourse. I should have known better. Now that you mentioned it, remember seeing the very same thing on a late 80's Honda CRX (car). the way we ficed that ingniton was to leave the lock cylinder in place (that's the oen held by the sheered bolts) and only removed the actual isgnition switch (the ones with the small screws) from the back of the lock cylinder. Can the same thing be done here as well?
